3 Inches Of Blood Fire Up The Blades
This is the Canadian band’s third album, and second album for Roadrunner Records, released in 2007 with producer Joey Jordison of Slipknot, Fire up the Blades won me over. The band stated that the album is influenced by low quality beer and bong hits and listening to black metal …
The Chronic- Dr. Dre
The 1992 album, The Chronic, by West Coast rapper Dr. Dre is a classic. Even after 17 years, the album still sounds very fresh in my mind and I still play it in my car regularly to this day. The album was famous for three hit rap singles which …
Green Day - Last Night On Earth (Song)
Last Night On Earth is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. Something I’m going to say about this track is that it’s the most melodic piece of music that I’ve ever heard Green Day do and I think that they just sound …
How Beautiful by Twila Paris
The song, “How Beautiful” by Twila Paris is a gorgeous song about the beauty of Christ, and His love for us as He gave His life for us. As a song to listen to, I love it. I listen to it and sing along with it. …
The Canadian Brass: The Canadian Brass Go For Baroque CD
I’d forgotten I had The Canadian Brass: The Canadian Brass Go For Baroque CD to be honest. Now that’s not a bad sign about how I feel about it; it was just buried beneath a large stack of other CDs and remained hidden in a sense.
This was actually …
Take That - Patience - Single
Something a little different to some of their newer releases. Patience. A slower track, clear but very easy to listen to.
It’s not so directly about love this time. I think it’s probably about a relationship break down that has the potential to be reignited.
The reason why I like this …

Now that I Found You by Allison Krauss
Allison Krauss has one of the most amazing voices in country music and this song is just one more proof of that. This is one of my favorite songs by this artist because of the lyrics and the soft but upbeat tune. She proclaims her love for this person …
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert
When I first listened to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, I really thought that I am reading to a novel or something. There is a certain kind of story to this CD album that I like so much. Her voice is soft and crooning and she can even …
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - House Burning Down (Song)
House Burning Down is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on their record Electric Ladyland. The song opens up with an incredibly dramatic yet emotional sounding lead guitar solo from Jimi Hendrix before transitioning into the bulk of the song with a groovy rhythm and energetic …
Metallica - Until It Sleeps (Music Video)
Overview —“ Until It Sleeps, the first music video released by Metallica for their album Load, is significantly different from any of the previous music videos that they had released up to this point in their career. In fact, just about everything about not only the video but also …
System Of A Down - Innervision (Song)
Innervision is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their third record, Steal This Album. The track opens up with a guitar rhythm which is driving to say the least followed by Tankian joining in with the vocal delivery. The melody works with the guitar rhythm …

Megadeth - Use The Man (Song)
Use The Man is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Cryptic Writings. The song opens up with Mustaine singing right away along with an acoustic guitar strumming some chords as the lead guitar comes in and out throughout the intro along with the drum beat and …
‘Surfer Girl’ - The Beach Boys
In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …
Don’t blink by Kenny Chesney
Don’t blink by Kenny Chesney is a song about how if you blink your whole life can go faster than you think. It’s like telling you not to waste a minute of your life because you never know what you may miss and you don’t want to miss a …
Weezer - Cold Dark World (Song)
Cold Dark World is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The Red Album. Like some of the other songs on The Red Album, this track doesn’t feature Rivers Cuomo singing lead, so it doesn’t exactly have the characteristic power pop sound which …
Do what you want song
Drake Bell is a great composer!He`s not just a composer but a great singer!Do what you want is a great song of his.The music has a attractive and lively melody.Anyone …
Train in Vain - Annie Lennox
I’ve liked a few tunes by Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics. I’m not overly fond of mellow music, especially by female singers. When my friend loaned me her Annie Lennox Medusa CD I didn’t jump at the opportunity to listen to it right away. In fact, it …
Green Day - Minority (Song)
Minority is a track by Green Day which appears on their album Warning. Minority does open up with an acoustic guitar part, but after this ends, the rest of the song is really just pretty much traditional pop punk which is obviously led by three powerchords played on a …
Buttons song from Pussy Cat Dolls featuring Snoop Dog
At the introduction of this song, I am imagining an Indian woman dancing like that of Remember the time video of Michael Jackson. However, it sounds sexy, modern and pop once the chorus is being played. What makes this song remarkable is the blending of voice of the vocals …
Jump Then Fall- Taylor Swift
This song is a song any teenage girl can relate to. The opening line goes “I like the way you sound in the morning… I like the way I can’t keep my focus…” This reminds me of waking up every morning for school, groggy and all. The only thing …
The Flaming Lips - Can’t Exist (Song)
Can’t Exist is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fourth track to appear on their sophomore release, Oh My Gawd. Opening up with some guitar feedback, an acoustic guitar surprisingly enters the mix and leads the song with a distorted guitar behind playing power chords. Coyne comes …
Bob Dylan - Diamond Joe (Song)
Diamond Joe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. Right from the opening section of this track, Dylan’s vocal tone really doesn’t appeal to me very much but then again he went through a long period where his vocal …
Sinatra & Biggie = True NY Gangsta
This review does not give any specifics other than not enough Sinatra was used. That is one of the worst thing about reviewers of reviewing in general, they are always looking for something thats not there, just take it as it is. The album begins with one …
MGMT - Future Reflections (Song)
Future Reflections is the final song of MGMT’s second record, Oracular Spectacular. I will admit that when I first heard this song, I didn’t really like it, but it has grown on me since then. Opening in an energetic fashion before transitioning into a far more melodic section, the …
Iron Maiden - Fates Warning (Song)
Fates Warning is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album No Prayer For The Dying. The track starts off with a clean guitar part with a melodic lead played over it which is a nice start to the track and actually not a way that Iron …
Its Blitz 2009 Album by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The first song I heard off this album was Heads Will Roll. It took place a rather long time ago. I was lying on the sofa, watching TV, MTV, and this song came on. I was probably in my second or third academic year at the university. When I …
Cosmonaut - At the Drive In
There was a time in the late nineties when indie prog music was making a sizable surge in popularity. With this surge in popularity came a huge surge in the quality of the music, as more and more bands were being noticed for their indie prog sound. It was …

Barbra Streisand: Timeless - Live in Concert CD
Barbra Streisand’s Timeless - Live in Concert CD is, well, timeless. It’s perfection. It’s astounding. It’s fabulous. It’s awesome. It’s incredible. It’s … wonderful! I could easily fill up this review with nothing but superlatives because I just adore this New Year’s …
System Of A Down - Forest (Song)
Forest is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second studio effort, Toxicity. The track opens up with a somewhat chaotic sounding section before Malakian comes in with an extremely heavy riff on guitar. The verse sort of follows a pattern of having this extremely …
We Are the World Song 2010
I just saw it in Youtube today, the premiere of We are the World 2010 remake. This was the new remake of the 25-year old song originally written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Riche for the famine in Africa. I remember I was just 5 years old when they …
Neutral Milk Hotel - The Fool (Song)
The Fool is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the fifth song on their album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Something I should mention about this track immediately, as a fair warning, is that this is the first instrumental on this record. I say as a …
Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force-Perpetual Flames
Everybody who plays guitar knows Yngwie Malmsteen. I grew up listening to his music. In my teens I always wondered could I play the guitar like him? No doubt that he is one of the most influential guitarist in the world. His speed and neoclassical styles had inspired …
Green Day - Private Ave. (Song)
Private Ave is a song by Green Day which appears on their record Kerplunk. The song starts off with a repetitive guitar riff along with a slight lead over it before Armstrong comes in with the vocals for the verse. One problem I have thus far with the …
Zooropa 1993 Album by U2
This album is a remarkable work of art. There is an atmosphere on this record which is unparalleled. If the previous U2 album was brilliant, this album is post-brilliant. The previous album, Achtung Baby is a collection of very strong tracks, whereas this album feels more effortless and easy. …
Achtung Baby 1991 Album by U2
Achtung Baby is my second favorite album by U2 after the 1997 album called Pop. Many critics praise this album. And I do agree with them. Many fans of U2 think that this album is of their best, and they are right. Music, can it be assessed objectively, should …
James Darren: Teenage Tears CD
I love James Darren. He’s in my top group of performers since childhood and I love his singing. I really don’t remember what I saw him in first, but he made an adorable Moondoggie, singing “Gidget” to Sandra Dee.
In his era of the teen idols, the late …
Megadeth - Rust In Peace… Polaris (Song)
Rust In Peace… Polaris is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. The track starts off with a very fast and aggressive drum rhythm before the guitars come into join this rhythm and certainly demonstrate the essence of thrash metal. Mustaine comes in with …
Alabama: When It All Goes South CD
There was a time when Alabama ruled the airwaves of country music and Alabama: When It All Goes South CD displays one of the reasons why. The title track itself has always made me chuckle since it starts with a scratch of music from Alabama with another song. …
I knew you were trouble song by Taylor Swift
I can honestly say I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, and that’s not because I don’t like her it’s just I don’t really fall into her target audience. I prefer to listen to music that caters to my age group and a bit more maturity.
It wasn’t until I was …
Lips Of An Angle by Hinder
Lips Of An Angle by Hinder is a song I like because it talks about how a guy still has feelings for this other girl and it goes into details about how this girl gives the guy a phone call and the guys girl does not know it is …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
Chemicals is a track by Scars On Broadway which is on their self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that although I like the song itself, I’m not a huge fan of the studio version and would certainly recommend a live version over the studio version. Throughout this entire …
Rock Singer Elton John
Some things never go out of style and Elton John is one of them. Elton John quickly soared to number one spots on the charts in the 1970’s and kept making those hits spanning a very long career. I love Elton John’s music but not his attitude so much. …
Type O Negative Bloody Kisses
The band Type O Negative perhaps are just trying to be funny and they certainly don’t lack in the humor department. Perhaps that what makes the Drab Four different from other goth band, they make doom and gloom music so damn fun. They open up their Bloody Kisses …
Animal Collective - In The Singing Box (Song)
In The Singing Box is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their second release, Danse Manatee. The best way I can characterize In The Singing Box is that it seems to be a track which has a fairly constant flow of music interacting with …
Muse - Feeling Good (Song)
Feeling Good is a track which appears on Muse’s record Origin of Symmetry. I’m aware that this song is a cover so I can’t really comment about the structure or the songwriting of the track, but I can certainly commend on how Muse apply their own style to it. …
Song : Soul On The Line by Connor Garvey
I was on the way home from work this evening when a gentle, lilting little love song came through the speakers. I was listening to Sirius radio which came with the car we just bought and decided to settle onto The Coffeehouse Channel. “Soul On The Line” …
Bob Dylan - Man Of Peace (Song)
Man Of Peace is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Infidels. The song start off with a pretty generic rhythm played by drums along with a guitar and an organ. Like many of the other tracks that Dylan wrote around this time period, the lyrics …
